Lungs - Hotel Books[00:00:00]
Scream hallelujah until you cough up blood[00:00:31]
Cause the devil came for our minds but left with our love[00:00:34]
So I looked into myself for something I knew nothing about[00:00:38]
Found no solutions but found a lot of doubt[00:00:41]
And slowly found out my heart was a trap door[00:00:44]
Waiting for the right one to fall in the center[00:00:47]
So she would take a final bow and become mine forever[00:00:50]
I found a pocket of comfort[00:01:02]
And acceptance and called it love[00:01:03]
But it was just another season[00:01:05]
That would end with leaves falling in the mud[00:01:06]
So we found ourselves in the new world[00:01:09]
Where we would have to live out of fear[00:01:11]
And call it living by faith[00:01:12]
A journey of forgetting who we are[00:01:14]
So we could remember our place[00:01:16]
And we tried to read maps backwards[00:01:17]
That lead us back to the beginning of[00:01:19]
The journey the only place we could walk hand on hand[00:01:21]
And not feel so lonely[00:01:24]
Then those maps of tangled lines[00:01:28]
Became our footprints and sinking sand[00:01:29]
Were being washed away by ways of trusting eachother[00:01:33]
To feel complete but we came up short[00:01:36]
Until we both felt alone and empty[00:01:38]
With no breadcrumbs laid down to lead us back to safety[00:01:41]
We thought this was built to last until we died[00:01:44]
But even that doesn't mean forever[00:01:47]
At least not in my mind[00:01:51]
Trust in my ability to love more than i trust in love[00:02:09]
And i trust in your smile as your emotion[00:02:15]
Not a mask to cover up your hands[00:02:18]
Scooping up buckets of blood[00:02:24]
We would travel far and see many new things[00:02:36]
And we beleive we could be[00:02:39]
Anything as long as we have eachother[00:02:40]
But the bother came when another stayed long[00:02:42]
Enough to give you the feeling I did when[00:02:45]
This journey began and now our[00:02:46]
Hands are completely stained red[00:02:48]
As we journey seeing new country[00:02:50]
Roads connected to the broken dreams[00:02:52]
Of simple familys the roads lined[00:02:54]
With animals waiting for their turn at the slaughter[00:02:56]
A reality on the roads we see are metaphors[00:02:59]
For our sons and daughters cause the blood on our hands[00:03:02]
Was the only way to keep the roots of our love watered[00:03:04]
And we have nothing to believe in[00:03:07]
But we still wanted to die martyrs[00:03:09]
And when someone came to carry me on the journey[00:03:16]
The blood of our past flooding our beliefs[00:03:18]
I watched someone come along[00:03:20]
And part the red sea[00:03:22]
But even on dry land I couldnt breathe[00:03:24]
Cause my body built an immunity to your ampathy[00:03:26]
And thats all I needed[00:03:29]
To believe love was still the reason[00:03:30]
That I could stand on my own two feet[00:03:31]
Scream hallelujah[00:03:37]
Until you cough up blood[00:03:42]
I inhaled this world so long[00:03:47]
I tore out my lungs[00:03:52]
I tore out my lungs[00:03:57]
It's tore out my lungs[00:04:02]
